the ball was really awsome! they played great music for classic ball room dancing such as the tango the chacha, the salsa, waltz ect. they even had swing which was totally cool. there were lots of styles to dance too. It was nice too because you didnt really need to be an expert dancing these things. though it might have been nice to know the moves a little more you didnt really need to. I really enjoyed it. I danced with my friends and had an opportunity to talk with some of the people that were more experienced with the classic ball room dances. from what i saw people were also very respectable about asking each other to dance. if you got rejected it wasnt a down right denying. it was much more respectable.
i also really liked the dress code. it was strict but not too strict. i liked that it was ment for an actual ballroom dance, formal attire and the like. very nice. it made it so that the people who wanted to be there. could be there! and made it so the event was formal and not raving. very nice!
i think what could have been done differently, was a bigger room. it was very very popular in the sense that the line was out the door and around the corner to get in and only certain people could get in. alot of the times the people who did get in, staid for the whole thing or nearly the whole thing so im sure alot of people who wanted to dance didnt get in. i got luck in that i was there early and got in early. but others werent so fortunate.
i think that a bigger room would also allow for the security to be less rude. i got a little fed up with the security because when i sat down for only one dance they thought i was sitting there for the entire thing which wasnt the case! i was simpley sitting down for one dance because i needed a chance to breathe. and i know there were people sitting there for a while but i think they shouldve been allowed too (another reason for a larger room, some people like to watch the dance) and then there was another time where we went out for water and we got told to leave...then why is there water outside!? so i think over all a bigger room would be better i know hotels have actual ballroom dance areas....we need to use soemthing like that so that everyone who wants to come CAN.
over all it was an amazing ballroom dance. and i can NOT WAIT for next years! this time i'll be better prepared with a nice dress rather then my academy uniform (though it was still an amazing uniform, just i would have liked something a little dressier for such a formal occasion). it was nice to be able to go to an actual formal dance. i really enjoyed myself. <3
